Compact Electronic Multiplexers using Integrated Waveguide Technology

This is an innovative filter technology which fills a useful niche between two well-established incumbent technologies.  It provides 50x-100x size/weight improvement, as well as improved loss and performance.  This Phase I proposal would further advance this integrated waveguide technology another level by constructing ultra-low-loss integrated waveguide interconnects to interface with the high-performance filters.  This creates a novel implementation of filter diplexers (and ultimately multiplexers) for significant size, weight, and cost reductions in military sensor subsystems.
